He’s staging “left-wing” attacks—or more accurately, trying to provoke them—to give him an excuse to use violence against his opposition.

Ni los derechos conseguidos ni los aprendizajes realizados tienen garantía de continuidad, pero llega un momento que debatir OOOOTRA vez sobre temas como el aborto o derecho laboral, agota. Es mantener un pulso constante. Para que digan que ya no hay lucha de clases. Todo lo es.

The North Pacific "blob" of unusually warm waters is the blob to end all blobs, and will have some sort of an influence on the upcoming US winter weather. So too will La Niña, which NOAA officially declared today. www.cnn.com/2025/10/09/w...

Sea surface temperature departures from average globally, but centered across the Pacific Ocean. This shows the La Niña event near the equator and the so-called "Blob" of warm waters in the North Pacific.

The report quotes Bray admitting that there may be an innocuous explanation for all this and expresses a desire not to come across as conspiratorial, but I think he is perfectly within his rights to see it all as quite fishy. Trump has pledged an all-out assault on "Antifa."

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Cuando vinieron por primera vez les dije que me parecía un error estratégico. Si me daba de alta con ellos, casi todos mis pacientes se harían una póliza, por lo que trabajaría más cobrando la mitad por acto médico, y una vez dominado el mercado me bajarían los baremos con la excusa de la crisis.

Pub later-hours plan will not offset costs and wider difficulties, say landlords

Sector is sceptical over government licensing proposals given ‘ever-rising costs’ and ‘reduced consumer spend’ Plans to make it easier for pubs to open until the small hours will not offset the “toxic” combination of high costs and hard-up drinkers staying at home, industry figures have predicted, as they called for more help to cope with costs. The warning comes in response to government proposals to loosen licensing laws affecting pubs in England and Wales in order to boost “the British night out” and help the hospitality sector.
